Yamaha has been a technological leader in the field of piano making for many, many years. In areas from acoustic analysis to metal casting, precision tooling, production technology, finish coatings and more, Yamaha research and development has steadily advanced the standards of quality and performance for the piano industry as a whole.
Founder Torakusu Yamaha was one of the first to bring modern production principles into the field of piano making. This not only resulted in more consistent quality, but also enabled Yamaha to dramatically increase manufacturing cost-efficiency–a step that would have major implications in making piano ownership more accessible, and one that would eventually be adopted by virtually every piano maker around the world.
Pianists at all levels appreciate the uniform ‘touch’ and playability of the Yamaha piano keyboard and action. As players’ skills increase, they come to recognize the exceptional purity of tone and range of expressive control as well. And for those responsible for purchasing and maintaining these instruments, Yamaha’s reputation for excellence and trouble-free reliability makes the choice of Yamaha pianos a confident decision.
Yamaha vertical pianos have long been a leading choice for educational institutions, professional musicians and discriminating home pianists. Thanks to comprehensive redesign, these world-standard instruments are better than ever, with numerous advances in materials and construction. Refined scale designs and components improve tonal performance, while other modifications enhance strength and durability.
Real Grand Expression. This phrase defines the expressive capability of Clavinova. It is not only the full realization of the tone, the touch and the pedals, but the application of technologies nurtured by crafting acoustic pianos to perfectly integrate these three elements into a single piano. As you play, you will truly feel as though you are playing a grand piano.
A new identity for the piano, born from the fusion of twenty-first century technology and more than a century of piano-crafting experience. The blissful moment when you and the piano resonate as one… is here.
Ever since the original Yamaha Disklavier introduced the marvels of hybrid acoustic/digital pianos back in 1986, these computer-age ‘player’ pianos have evolved into instruments that can reproduce ‘live’ acoustic piano concerts and ensemble music with instrumental backings and vocal tracks.
